Tonebenders is a collective of sound design professionals sharing their thoughts, ideas, and stories. All aspects of sound design will be up for debate, from field recording to the final mix, from manipulation to synthesis, from track layouts to secret editing tricks. The Tonebenders Podcast will air these topics in lively conversation while also covering the latest news in software, gear, techniques, and topics from the sound design world.

The podcast is hosted and produced by René Coronado (Dallas), Dustin Camilleri (Chicago) & Timothy Muirhead (Toronto), three audio professionals with different backgrounds and specialties. Using nearly 40 years of combined knowledge and experience, they set out to create a thoughtful take on the past and present of the sound design and post production businesses.
